The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Federal investigators have recovered the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder from the Amazon Air Boeing 767-300 that overran a runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday. The 21 Air cargo jet, arriving from San Juan, Puerto Rico, ran about 1,300 feet past the runway, struck a Ford Econoline van carrying seven aircraft-cleaning workers and an SUV outside airport property, and caught fire. Five people on the ground were killed and five others were injured; the two crew members survived. The NTSB sent a 32-person team to examine the aircraft, landing sequence and airport conditions.
